Summary
Job Description
Build a long-term career - not just your next job. We're expanding our commercial gas team across the South West due to growth on long-term contracts and we are now recruiting in the Tiverton area. Before we get into the day-to-day, here's what really matters:
- Career progression - the real kind
- At Sherwoods, progression isn't rushed and it isn't based on empty promises.
- Several members of our senior leadership team started with us as apprentices. They learned the trade properly, proved themselves over time, and progressed because they were ready - not because of a job title being dangled in front of them.
- That's exactly how we still do things today.
- We won't promise you a supervisor role in three months.
- What we will offer is:
- A stable, growing business
- Clear opportunities as the company expands
- Support, training, and trust as you develop
- A long-term career path if you want one
If you're good at what you do, committed, and want to grow, we'll back you.
Why this role is different
- This is a role for commercial gas engineers who want to settle in and build something, not hop between short-term jobs.
- Planned work with realistic schedules
- Trusted to manage your day once on site
- No micromanagement, no unnecessary pressure
- A business that hires ahead of demand, not after people burn out
What you'll be doing
- Planned and reactive commercial gas maintenance across client sites
- Fault finding, repairs, and minor installation works
- Working to a realistic, pre-planned schedule
- Completing work safely and in line with Gas Safe and industry regulations
What you'll need
- Relevant commercial gas qualifications (e.g. COCN1 / CODNCO1 / TPCP1 / ICPN1 or equivalent)
- Experience in a commercial or maintenance environment
- Full UK driving licence
- Willingness to undertake an enhanced DBS check
What you'll get
- Salary up to £47,000, depending on experience
- Realistic earnings nearer £55,000 when door-to-door travel time is included
- Company van + fuel card
- Overtime available (never forced)
- 29 days holiday (incl. bank holidays)
- A paid day off for your birthday
- Simply Health cash plan
- Comprehensive discounts platform and benefits portal
- Enhanced maternity, adoption and paternity pay
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Holiday purchase scheme
